chatMessageMention resource type

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Represents a mention in a chatMessage entity. The mention can be to a user, team, bot, or channel.

In a chatMessage object that contains one or more mentions, the message body content property represents the chat message in HTML. It encloses the mentionText of each mention in an HTML at element, with an id attribute that corresponds to the id property of the mention.

As an example, a chat message contains two mentions, with the mention text "Megan" and "Alex" respectively. Its body content property specifies at elements for the two mentions as follows:

"body": {
    "contentType": "html",
    "content": "<div><div>Ah, <at id=\"0\">Megan</at>, <at id=\"1\">Alex</at>, I saw them in a separate folder. Thanks!</div>\n</div>"
}

In the content property, the first mention has an HTML id attribute of 0. This corresponds to the id property of that first instance of chatMessageMention, which is also 0.

The second mention has an id attribute of 1, matching the id property of the second instance, which is 1.

For a fuller context of the example, see List channel message replies.
